DT25 connection to M20d

[TheLonz]

Hi, I use a DT25 with a PODHD500 and connect them by L6 Link. I then have the DT25 connected to our M20d stagescape mixer using the direct out connection on the rear of the DT25. My issue is that I getting very little signal to the M20d. It's there but barely. Can the direct out connection by operated independent of the amp master volume? Can the signal be boosted? I'm trying to control stage volume without sacrificing the sound going to the main mix. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

That is the same way I connect my rig with my band; we use the M20d to record our rehearsals and do sound for our gigs. I only have the mixer and two L2's for the monitors, so we have to run the main outs to a PA or house sound, but works pretty well.

 

Here's the key: the DT25 XLR out is MIC level. You need to go to the channel in the M20d and increase the gain. Easiest way to do that is tap the little icon that shows channel level ,and it will pop up the various options - took me a while to discover that one - and the red one is trim ( I think brown is panning?)

 

Increase the gain a bit- treat it like a mic signal, which requires some gain to get up in level.
